Why are you talking about January only? Wasn't 1 out of our whopping 2 senior signings in the summer loan also?

Sessegnon, NDombele, GLC.

? Sessegnon at 19 is not a senior signing. He is in the Jack Clarke group of future promising youth talent.

that was because we couldn't agree on a fee, and Levy didn't want to spend the amount they wanted in 1 hit especially if he failed to settle or hit it off.
to be honest with players now running down contracts or failing to settle, with prices being asked it might be something that becomes popular for the rest of time with all clubs doing it.
your postings are as if we have been in the stadium these last 10 seasons and making record profits every season in that time. we haven't had 1 full season yet, and even though Levy has arranged realistic payments to pay the stadium off, it's still a debt hanging over us when we want to make signings, which at the moment are not happening because we have a full squad quota

A relatively unprofitable club? Remind me again which team broke the world record profit barrier last year and are on course to potential do it again this time around?

Spurs are literally the perfect example of how to make money through investing in a football club.

The comparison is with Alphabet, not other football clubs.

Exactly, just look at our value when Enic took over, compared to what it is now.
They've invested well, built us up and are now set to reap the rewards, be that by selling us or just generating huge profit from the multi use stadium.

Depends, that's not their current business model either and would be much higher risk.

Something interesting I read yesterday. The Sainsbury’s by the ground is owned by a company based in the Bahamas and now has nothing to do with THFC. I was under the impression it was something that would generate income for the club. Nope, Joe Lewis gets the income.
How many other parts of the development is the football club going to see income from? None is my guess. Something to ponder.

Could start to explain why we seem to have little money to spend in the transfer window.. it’s either going Into paying off the training ground stadium etc or going into joe Lewis back pocket
Just more money for the old man to spend on art and yachts.
There must be an absurdly rich sheikh in need of a play thing somewhere...

Could well have been bought from the club for above value, as is some of the weird ways the financial stuff is done.

I thought we sold it off to help fund the second phase.

Probably, and there would be no point for him to waste money on this club when there are other clubs other there that would cost a lot less.

But he will get the challenge of making the club successful which has eluded the current owners.
